Sony’s 2015 MWC unveiling on 2 March – no press conference scheduled

According to our sources, Sony Mobile is taking a different approach at this year’s MWC tradeshow, which takes place between 2 to 5 March 2015 in Barcelona. There will be no formal press conference or live stream as we have been used to in prior years. Instead, on Monday 2 March there will be a welcome greeting to open the booth for the media present at MWC. We are expecting Sony’s latest news on the same day – so mark the date in your diaries folks.

Good thing i am now over about the all update thing. Unlike last time, I’ve been checking about every news about an update. Glad that it went out of my system.

maybe an announcement that they r selling their mobile division

Z4 only for IFA. Good decision from SONY.
Z3 deserves to be flagship a little longer.

I don’t think so tbh. September is too late to announce a flagship especially after all the other vendors would have announced their 2015 flagships ages ago. I think May is a more probable date. Xperia z4 compact ( or Ultra if it exists) could be unveiled in september

No way. At least not this year. Tbh I doubt this will ever happen in the near future. Things are starting to look little bit better for Sony and their mobile division

My thoughts exactly, September would be great for Z4U and Z4C, but let’s see how their new tragedy works for them.

No, September will be too late for a flagship. Especially when Sony said that they will be using Snapdragon 810. By September, Snapdragon 810 is going to be consider as an old chip and will lose to the competitors.

Hope the Xperia Z4 will be the phoenix for Sony… I mean the new beginning for Sony!!

Maybe it would be so great if Sony will commercial Xperia Z4 alongside with the new cool Sony Pictures’s movies like Chappie or 007 but Sony has to sure as well that the Xperia Z4 is going to great and cool enough to blow people’s mind!

What if Sony Updates with Lollipop 5.0.2 which atleast have some bugs fixed?

Well if they’re not unveiling a flagship device, a low key affair is the best way to go. They can’t exactly make a big song and dance about mid range and budget smartphones. There may be a successor to the z2 tablet announced though but that too wouldn’t be deserving of a press conference. The press are the going there to cover flagship launches so no point addressing them formally if you haven’t got one to show off and talk about.
They’ve got to get their skates on though. An xperia flagship is needed before June at the latest. All rumours point to a much improved s6 this year. They really don’t want to give Samsung free reign to gobble up mad sales!!

You mean Japanese guy who take care Europe region? If you do, I agree. He still speak with Japanese accent in every press conference unlike Kazuo Hirai

Well if Sony delay the release of z4 till September.. Samsung would have released their main flagship S6, HTC would have released M9, LG would have released Flex 2 and G4 , and all the Chinese big names woul have released their flagships 6-4 months before sony. Bear in mind that all these devices have Snapdragon 810 while xperia z3 has sd 801. So if Sony releases the z4 in September they’ll be behind the competition and I’m sure they’re trying their best to avoid that

I think they’re delaying it because of the Snapdragon 810 problem….Remember Qualcomm was ditched by another phone company because of 810’s overheating problems. So, i think Sony and other manufacturers are waiting for Qualcomm to fix their mess. Sony probably don’t want to announce a new model in March 2015…and for the actual unit to be released towards mid or end of 2015–by that time, the novelty of a new model might disappear.

If the Z4 will come with the same already boring design as Z, Z1, Z2 and Z3 = the guy whi is designer of it should be fired!!! He’s doing nothing since the first Z!!! C’mon Sony hire better people than this! This design WAS good, but he had A LOT of TIME to create something new and better! Hope you are not going to bore us to death with the same design 5th time!!!

Moreover the later they will announce/release it the less people will buy because only fans will wait so long for it, other people will have time to buy its new Shamesung, HTC, LG or any chinese One – One :)
Then the Z4 will come, LATE = noone will be interested in buying new flagship after just few months :)
If I have my new LG G4 or HTC One M9 I will not care about Z4, amybe Z5 if it will deliver and this time will not be sooo extremely late to the party.

They said they improved with delivering products and with OS update timings = ths year it’s a joke… They promised lillipop so fast and you see what is going on :)

At least communication with clients improved = there is no any communication or statements, no dates, nothing :>

If they will continue with it yes, they will sell it but on their own reason and their own responsibility.
They received too much of the feedback from us = still doesn’t care…

In Barcelona we will see at least what Shamesung, HTC and LG brought for us.
I will choose which is best for me within these 3 and patiently wait. If only see Z4 looking the same as every old Z = goodbye Sony, time to switch to something new, with new design (even if it is not new it will be new to me) and new UI (new to me). Time for changes that Sony does not want to deliver to us. Sorry.

Hi i am an XZ owner and today i got a update it still kitkat 4.4.4 and the firmware changed to 10.5.1.A.0.292 it wan only an 1.5 mp!
So i install it i thought it is an useless update because nothing changed but my phone became very SMOOTH! It was like as smooth as ever
Thank you sony :’)

most people ignore what a snapdragon is, they just want a beautiful phone, bueautiful screen beautiful UI, no lags.. and that’s it, if they take more time, they can make a better software, better UI, and better optimize the phone, that’s how you wn, why do you think most people like iPhones ? simple UI, just works how it should, and no lags / freezs / RAM spikes

My 6.44″ Xperia Z Ultra with SBH52 handset and QX1 with flash is my perfect combo. I am on T Mobile’s $30 unlimited web and text with 100 minutes talk no contract plan that is working out great for me.
